Lower Archway of the Former Rolandseck Castle

Highlight • Castle

A nice little round to the Roland arch. The old bridge lets you travel a little bit into the past. Too bad, there was a closed party up at the Rolandsbogen and it was closed from the viewing platform.

We went to the Rolandsbogen and Heinrichsblick, with mild temperatures and nice weather.

Finally I looked over to the Drachenfels, the Drachenburg, the Petersberg, Ölberg etc ..........
Even the cathedral spiers could be seen in the distance. The camera no longer stood still with enthusiasm, a new telephoto lens could finally be tried out with good …

February 23, 2025,Unterwegs im Drachenfelser Ländchen 🌞

With today's great weather, it was a really nice tour through the Drachenfelser Ländchen with great views towards the Siebengebirge.

February 2, 2025,Drachenfelser Ländchen mit Blick zum Siebengebirge-Wiederholung

We did today's tour in reverse to that on January 29th, 2023 and it was very nice because we had the panorama of the Siebengebirge in front of us for a long time. Great weather with lots of sun ☀️, but very icy in the morning. Overall, another nice tour 😁
Thanks to our hiking friends. 👍

Again, Komoot shows a walking time that is incorrect. With short breaks, we were on the road for about 5.5 hours with an average of about 4.5 h/km

November 6, 2021,Rundwanderung von Rolandseck (Achtung Jagd!)

We had to change the tour because trigger-happy, unfriendly orange-green contemporaries wanted to kill defenseless animals with beer bottles in hand. 🤮 Sometimes there were no signs on the paths.
